The protected lane spans a roughly one-mile segment of Juniper Street.
A bike lane that has been in the works since 2010 will finally open in Midtown Atlanta, report Jonathan Raymond and Grace King for 11 Alive. “The Midtown Alliance announced on Wednesday that the Juniper Street bike lanes are officially open southbound between 14th Street and Ponce De Leon Avenue, a roughly one-mile stretch through the heart of Midtown.” According to the Alliance, all traffic, pedestrian, and bike signals on the new lanes are now operational.
A safety study found that there were over 620 crashes on the street in the five years before construction on the new bike lanes began in 2023. “One biker who spoke to 11Alive, Cooper Marx, said he felt far safer now navigating Midtown with the protected lanes in place.”
